From Roast to Roast: Exploring Different Coffee Varieties
Coffee is so much more than a morning ritual; it’s a global journey that allows us to experience different cultures, climates, and artisanal practices. At our shop, we believe in the beauty of celebrating diverse coffee varieties that reflect their exotic origins, and we are proud to offer sustainably sourced premium coffee that resonates with the soul of Memphis. Join us as we delve into the world of coffee varieties—from their flavor profiles to their unique stories.
1. The Origins of Coffee Varieties
Exotic locations across the globe, such as Ethiopia, Colombia, and Brazil, produce distinct coffee beans that deliver a unique taste experience.
- Ethiopian Yirgacheffe: Known for its floral notes and vibrant acidity, Ethiopian coffees often have hints of lemon and jasmine, making it a favorite among specialty coffee enthusiasts.
- Colombian Supremo: This variety is particularly well-loved for its smooth and balanced taste, often boasting caramel sweetness and mild acidity. It’s a coffee that resonates with many, making it a staple in coffee shops worldwide.
- Brazilian Santos: Brazil is known for producing coffee with low acidity and a nutty flavor profile. Santos coffee beans often offer a rich body with chocolatey undertones, perfect for those who prefer a mellow cup.
2. The Impact of Roasting
Each roasting method has a profound influence on the final flavor profile of the coffee.
- Light Roast: Bright and vibrant, light roasts are perfect for showcasing the true character of the coffee bean. Many appreciate how these roasts highlight fruity and floral notes, making the drinking experience refreshing.
- Medium Roast: A favorite for many coffee drinkers, medium roasts strike a perfect balance between acidity and body. They maintain some of the original bean flavors while also introducing sweeter, caramelized notes.
- Dark Roast: Bold and robust, dark roasts deliver a deep smoky flavor with a hint of bitterness. This style appeals to those who enjoy a rich, satisfying cup, often reminiscent of an evening cup shared over stories.

At our store, we focus on sourcing coffees that are not just premium, but also sustainably grown. We partner with farmers who prioritize environmentally friendly practices and fair trade, ensuring that every sip you enjoy contributes to a sustainable future.
